Shiloh

Pam and I took a day-trip to Shiloh National Cemetery, in Tennessee this weekend, while the weather was so beautiful. It was a great day for taking pictures and having a picnic. This first pic is a monument from Iowa. It had to have cost a fortune. The bronze statue was larger-than-life.


There were cannon everywhere.


All flags were at half-mast as this was two days after the killings in Texas at Fort Hood.

The dead trees were indicative of the somber mood here - the living among the dead.



As we were leaving, we noticed this beautiful ginkgo tree shedding it's leaves. It was huge.
